Nikon NEXIV VMR-H3030 CNC Video Measuring System

One of Nikon's most sophisticated automated vision systems, the NEXIV VMR-H3030 will surpass expectations no matter how complicated or simple the measuring task. It features a 300 x 300 x 150mm stage, TTL Laser height/profile scanning, intelligent pattern recognition and low contrast edge measuring. Perfect for when exceptional performance and accuracy are critical, such as dies and molds and finely machined parts.

Nikon's Most Advanced OpticsUltrahigh precision of 0.01µm provides the critical detail necessary for a Master Calibration Instrument. The H3030 features a powerful telecentric 15:1 zoom module with 0.35 NA objective and 50mm free working distance.

Unsurpassed Edge DetectionBlack and gray portions of a workpiece are digitally classified into 256 levels, then edges are detected and processed based on this classification. This prevents measurement data from being affected by changes in illumination.

When the operator clicks the point to be measured, the system automatically rotates the probes, sets them at the optimum position, and sets the probe size automatically. Desired edges are easily selected by eliminating dust and burrs through a change in the contrast threshold level. Unique algorithms enhance edge detection, even at low magnifications.

Through-the-lens (TTL) Laser Focusing SystemAllows users to fully utilize the powerful optics to scan at 1,000 points per second on complex profiles of 3D precision parts and a 15X Telecentric Zoom System that facilitates easy searches at low magnifications.

Two LED ring illuminators — 8-sector illumination system consisting of inner (37° oblique angle against Optical Axis) and outer (75° oblique angle) ring illuminators for observation of extremely low-contrast edges that are usually invisible under episcopic illumination.

Episcopic illumination — top light

Diascopic illumination — bottom light

Edges previously difficult to capture can be detected with high resolution.

Automeasure SoftwareFeatures interactive measurement wizards, which can be customized by each operator for future use. Intelligent search functions eliminate possible measurement errors and a multi-pattern search function automatically corrects part-to-part variation along with deviations in expected edge or feature locations. NEXIV also features a pattern matching measurement system that determines coordinate values for features too difficult to measure in the normal geometric measuring mode.
